Gates of the Myriad Realms Chapter 677
bySeventh Uncle bent down, blocking the attack with a cleaver.
The man’s face changed drastically. He cautiously retreated a few steps, then shouted at Shen Ye:
“I didn’t damage anything here, why are you attacking me?”
Taking advantage of this moment.
Seventh Uncle extended his other hand, grabbed the masked person, and placed him beside Shen Ye.
“You’re safe now.”
The girl said with a smile.
Shen Ye glanced at her, seeing her calm demeanor, and her eyes, clear and serene as a still lake beneath the mirror.
So composed?
“If I had been weaker just now, you would be dead,” Shen Ye transmitted.
“If I die, it’s ‘the end’, not even my soul will exist, so I won’t feel pain,” the girl replied seriously.
Shen Ye shook his head.
He couldn’t understand what this girl was thinking.
He’d deal with it later.
“Hey! Speak up, why are you attacking me?”
The man opposite yelled.
Others also showed strange expressions, looking at Shen Ye together.
“I’ve long heard that the guardians here don’t interfere with anything. I didn’t expect them to take action today.”
“Could it be that their rules have changed due to this incident?”
“We must find out the reason!”
Everyone clamored.
The deer-headed men behind Shen Ye were a bit hesitant.
“Your Excellency?”
One deer-headed man began.
Shen Ye stepped forward and addressed the professionals opposite him:
“As I said, we consider this our home and don’t get involved in other matters.”
“But you attacked me!” the man shouted.
“I didn’t attack you, but took him from your hands.”
Shen Ye pointed at the masked man in front of him, explaining further:
“He damaged our valuable items and must be taken away by us for further questioning and punishment.”
“—This is the iron rule of us guardians.”
“Is there a problem?”
Everyone fell silent.
The man opened his mouth, but couldn’t utter a word.
—They weren’t trying to deal with him.
They were just completing their mission, which was to take that person away.
He jumped out, confronted their target.
Then he blocked them.
How did it —
Suddenly become his fault?
The man stared at Shen Ye, unable to find the right words.
Shen Ye raised his hand, removing the术印.
In mid-air.
Seventh Uncle’s enormous figure suddenly disappeared, and the “restaurant” forged from endless bones disintegrated with him.
“If there are no other issues, we’ll be taking this person with us.”
Shen Ye smiled and bid them farewell.
“Hold it,” the man said.
“Something else?” Shen Ye asked.
“If I, Su Heng, am dismissed by your few words, how will I ever get by again?”
“What do you want?”
“Alright, the destructive power of the bizarre shadow is too great, so we won’t use it.”
“—Now, take one of my moves. If you can take it, you can take the person.” The man said.
“What if I can’t take it?” Shen Ye asked.
“The person you want to take, I will kill him—I’m determined to kill him!” the man said fiercely.
Shen Ye smiled, rubbing his chin, and transmitted:
“Why does he insist on killing you?”
“Because he saw me use a spell—he might have detected my causality-based spell, making it easier to find that future-type term.” The girl responded.
“So this is a preemptive strike against a competitor?” Shen Ye asked.
“Yes,” the girl affirmed, then cautioned:
“Be careful—in this era, those who can survive in the other shore are all skilled, beyond what you historical figures can imagine.”
Shen Ye fell silent for a moment.
Historical figures…
Does that mean I’m behind the times?
He stopped transmitting and engaging in conversation. Instead, he lowered his head, pressed his hand to the hilt of the Ominous Flame Blade, and took a few steps forward.
The crowd cleared a space.
The man also took a few steps forward, facing Shen Ye, and mused:
“You should be the legendary guardian who can rival the gods, that is, the Sa—”
“Stop!” Shen Ye interrupted him, “We’re not that familiar.”
“But I saw your weapon.”
“So what?”
“I’m also a swordsman—when I kill you, there will be one less swordsman in the world.”
Shen Ye was full of question marks.
—This logic is incomprehensible!
What’s wrong with one less swordsman?
The girl’s transmission rang in his ear:
“There aren’t many humans left who can use law-type blade arts.”
“The rarer the profession, the more mysterious it is, and the less the enemy can understand its various methods.”
So that’s how it is.
“It’s truly sad,” Shen Ye said.
“This is the survival of the fittest, why do you feel sad?” the girl asked.
“Humans are almost dead, yet they’re still thinking about killing their own kind, and they’re filled with a sense of accomplishment because of it,” Shen Ye said.
The girl fell silent.
Shen Ye also didn’t continue speaking.
Opposite.
The man drew his long刀, took a step, and his entire body suddenly vanished from the spot.
Shen Ye’s eyes twitched.
So fast!
The girl was right, he really couldn’t be careless.
He could only—
Go all out.
Shen Ye’s Ominous Flame Blade trembled, and he and his blade directly turned into a phantom, swinging the blade towards the opponent’s afterimage.
At the same time, he also used the term “幕後人” to add the prefix “巅峰级” to the blade technique “花盛放”, and summoned that new ability—
A wisp of dark flame quietly appeared on the blade of the Ominous Flame Blade.
Doomsday Flame!
Without using the dharma idol, this was already considered using all his strength!
The next instant.
The two sides clashed!
Poof.
A dull sound of leather being torn was heard.
Blood spattered.
Shen Ye and the man both showed surprise.
The difference was—
Shen Ye was standing there perfectly fine.
But the man’s head had been cut off and rolled onto the ground.
“What’s going on?”
Shen Ye asked in a deep voice.
At the last moment, he could sense the turbulent law fluctuations on the opponent’s blade.
This blade was not easy to deal with.
He had even prepared to use “吟咏歌姬” to elevate his blade technique.
However!
The opponent suddenly froze.
It was this instant.
Victory and defeat were decided!
The man’s head rolled a few times, his eyes closed. But under Shen Ye’s “幽暗低語”, he was forced to open his eyes and mouth again, uttering with difficulty:
“My… hand… cramped.”
Hand cramped!
At the moment of a life-or-death duel, his hand cramped!
Everyone showed incredible expressions.
Shen Ye, however, came to his senses.
Hand cramped…
This kind of micro-manipulation that changes destiny, it seems—
“Was it you?”
Shen Ye transmitted.
“I don’t fight,” the girl’s aggrieved voice rang out.
“It was you—I know this is a power from the side of destiny, and I’ve used similar methods before,” Shen Ye said with certainty.
“Hahaha, I can’t fool you, how annoying!”
The girl suddenly laughed.
“He wanted to kill me, so that’s a wicked cause, and a wicked cause naturally bore a wicked fruit—it was karmic retribution that made him die, it had nothing to do with me.”
Shen Ye understood.
Although this girl didn’t have the ability to fight head-on, how could laws of cause and effect be underestimated?
As an auxiliary professional, her ability was extremely terrifying!
Suddenly.
Lines of faint light appeared quietly:
“You have arrived at the True Other Shore.”
“You have touched the convergence of history and future.”
“Currently, according to your will, the third mission of the Eternal Poem is unfolding: ‘Exterminate All Demons’, generating the following task:”
“Recruitment.”
“Description: A truly strong person is not only powerful themselves, but also has many excellent companions.”
“Mission Goal: Find new companions in the Other Shore to form a small team (at least two members).”
“Mission Reward: Blade skill enhancement.”
“—Humans who survived the historical decisive battle and struggled to survive in the Age of Entropy are all extremely valuable experts.”
“You need such personnel.”
All the small characters flashed and disappeared.
Shen Ye’s thoughts surged, but his gaze swept across the professionals opposite, and he said:
“The matter is concluded.”
“Now I am taking this person away.”
“—Does anyone else wish to interfere in the internal affairs of us guardians?”
No one spoke.
The corpse on the ground served as an example.
An example is power.
“Very good. Then we will continue to keep to ourselves, and I ask everyone not to damage anything here.”
“Farewell.”
Shen Ye finished speaking, then turned and left with several guardians.
After turning a few corners.
The masked girl unexpectedly handed over an item, saying:
“Spoils of war—his blade is good, you should keep it.”
Shen Ye took the longblade and glanced at it.
The longblade was sharp.
The hilt was engraved with the words “斬花”.
A mysterious power swirled around the blade, making one yearn to wield it in battle.
Yes.
In this era, swordsmen were becoming fewer, so precious swords shouldn’t be casually abandoned.
Because fewer and fewer people recognized their value.
So—
Shen Ye pressed the blade against the Ominous Flame Blade at his waist.
The term “Mandala Uroboros” activated!
The two blades instantly merged into one.
“Super-limit evolution complete.”
“The Ominous Flame Blade retains its original ‘Divine Seizure’ power and has been enhanced:”
“Attack speed increased by 15%, and has a 0.1% chance to steal the opponent’s heart upon hit.”
Shen Ye suddenly stopped.
He lowered his head and examined the longblade in his hand.
The hilt—
It had turned rose red?
That’s ridiculous!
He was about to use the “Mandala Incantation” to separate the two blades, but a sharp cry erupted from the longblade.
They didn’t want to!
—They wanted to stay together!
The girl watched from the side, her eyes subtly moving, and she exclaimed in surprise:
“You can merge weapons?”
“Just a small trick,” Shen Ye rubbed his forehead, a bit unsure what to do.
—He should have taken a closer look at the detailed attributes of that “Flower Slayer” before.
Now it’s over.
Getting loved by the enemy during a fight doesn’t seem like a glorious thing either.
But thankfully, there’s only a 0.1% chance.
Speeding up the draws is useful though.
A quicker draw gives a higher chance of winning!
Fine then!
“Here, take this.”
Shen Ye handed an item to the girl.
“Storage ring?” the girl said.
“Got it from that guy just now. Consider it your reward for helping me get this blade,” Shen Ye said.
—That last strike used “Divine Seizure,” directly taking the opponent’s ring.
Now was a good time to return the favor.
“Wow, so you’re as dark as I am—thank you!” the girl said happily.
“Officer,” a guard whispered.
Shen Ye looked at the other party.
—Just now, he and the girl had been silent, communicating only through telepathy, so these few subordinates didn’t know what had happened.
“Lord Shaman sent word that the seal will completely loosen in 3 minutes.”
Shen Ye pondered slightly.
When the seal had slightly loosened before, he had sensed that kind of power.
It was immensely powerful.
If the seal were to completely loosen—
“We must find cover immediately.”
Shen Ye said.
The few guards nodded, showing approval.
Shen Ye, however, didn’t continue speaking, but looked at them.
—This was, after all, the “home” of the guardians, and they were more familiar with every part of it.
“Do you have any suggestions? Let’s hear them,” Shen Ye said.
“Your Excellency, I remember there’s a separate underground stone chamber nearby.”
A guard quickly said.
“Lead the way, let’s take shelter!”
“Yes, Officer.”
The group sped up, passing through a corridor, and searching across an oval-shaped hall.
They quickly found the underground stone chamber.
As the heavy small door of the stone chamber slowly closed, the group remained silent.
The seal loosened.
That power was about to erupt.
According to Sabie, that power would carry this piece of historical fragment, traversing through the Era of Entropy.
But the girl had a different theory.
Here, one could seek “future-type” terms!
In the darkness.
The girl’s voice quietly rose:
“If a term can only be owned by one person, can you give it to me? I will pay enough in return.”
“Yes,” Shen Ye said.
“So direct? That’s a term that can take one to the future,” the girl said.
“My friends are all in history, so I have no desire for the future for now.”
Shen Ye spoke honestly.
It wasn’t just Xiao Mengyu and his teacher.
After Shattered Sky fell into slumber, the multi-universe also closed, and he couldn’t find anyone close to him.
So his goal wasn’t the future.
—It was to become stronger.
Therefore, completing the mission was the real priority.
“Very good, I didn’t find the wrong person—let’s reintroduce ourselves, I am Hera.”
A trace of delight entered the girl’s voice.
“I am Shen Ye.”
“I hope we can cooperate happily.”
At this moment, the void began to tremble.
A power he had never experienced before surfaced in Shen Ye’s perceptions, giving him a feeling similar to “being in a vehicle.”
“Officer, we’ve started accelerating.”
A subordinate whispered.
“Mhm,” Shen Ye responded.
The historical fragments began to move!
As the seal loosened, it started to shift in the Age of Entropy.
No one knew what consequences this movement would have!
“The time has come, follow me.”
The girl transmitted.
“Do you know the location of that term?” Shen Ye asked.
“Yes,” the girl said.
“Are there any requirements to take the term?”
“You just protect me, and I’ll take it.”
“Alright.”
Shen Ye looked back at his three subordinates, cleared his throat lightly, and said:
“You all stay here, I’m going to grab something and will be right back.”
“Yes, Officer!” the three subordinates replied in unison.
Shen Ye and the girl eyed each other, then rose to leave the stone chamber.
Suddenly.
A figure quietly appeared in the stone chamber.
—It was a humanoid doll made of cotton cloth.
“Don’t move.”
The doll said.
Shen Ye’s hand rested on his blade, the girl hid beside him, and the three guards also raised their spears.
The doll’s voice was cold and indifferent:
“Don’t struggle in vain. Everyone in the entire Sacred Tower is not allowed to move.”
“Once we take the future artifact, you will be free.”
“Why should we listen to you?” Shen Ye asked.
The other party said:
“—I represent the great Twisted Sanctuary.”
“If you defy the will of the Sanctuary, your fate will surely be ‘the end’.”
Twisted Sanctuary.
That name again.
Shen Ye smiled, then looked back and asked, “What’s your opinion?”
Hera was about to speak, but a flash of blade light vanished.
Three consecutive strikes, instantly completed!
Clang.
The blade returned to its sheath.
“The attack speed really did get faster,” Shen Ye muttered to himself.
—This blade’s advancement was rather satisfactory.
Hera looked across.
The doll had been cut into several pieces, its internal cloth strips scattered on the ground.
“You have a grudge against them?”
She asked.
“There was a tiny little friction,” Shen Ye admitted.
“The Twisted Sanctuary is not to be trifled with—no, you were too reckless this time, we must escape first!”
Hera said in a solemn voice.
“Are you saying we should return to the Other Shore?” Shen Ye asked.
“Yes,” Hera suddenly made a move, patting the back of the three natural guards’ heads.
The three guards immediately fell unconscious.
“Quick, let’s go, don’t get tangled up with the Twisted Sanctuary’s monsters, they’re very troublesome,” Hera urged.
“Alright.”
Shen Ye raised his hand and pressed, pulling a door from the void, and gently pushing it open.
Beyond the door was a grassland.
—It was exactly where the two first met.
“…You’re a door wielder?”
Hera asked.
“Yes,” Shen Ye said.
“So we can go back anytime?”
“Yes.”
“…You didn’t say so earlier.”
Hera carefully stepped through the door, sensed the situation on the grassland, then stepped back.
“Are we supposed to go back to the Other Shore?”
Shen Ye asked.
Hera looked at him somewhat speechlessly.
So this is how you emerged from history.
In that case—
“Since we can run anytime, what’s there to fear?” Hera’s tone hardened a bit.
She pulled out a few treasures and spread them in front of Shen Ye.
—The other party had already shown sincerity, so she also needed to prepare adequate remuneration.
“Choose, they’re all good things.”
Hera said.
Shen Ye glanced at them and said:
“If I help you get the future term, can I specify a reward?”
“What do you want?” Hera asked.
“You see, I’m from history, and I’ve just arrived at the Other Shore without any helpers. I want to form a small team,” Shen Ye explained.
Hera immediately understood.
“I can join—after all, all my friends are dead—if you don’t find it unlucky, I’m willing to fight alongside you.”
She placed her hand on Shen Ye’s shoulder.
An alliance contract immediately floated on the door, emitting a brilliant glow.
Shen Ye looked at it, then pressed his handprint.
The girl also pressed one.
—This marked them as formally allied.
Lines of faint light appeared quietly:
“Your team still needs a name.”
“Only when your team has a name will the mission be completed.”
Name?
“What do you think we should name our team?” Shen Ye asked.
“You can just come up with any name for this boring stuff,” Hera said, indicating she didn’t care at all.
“Let’s call ourselves the Great Hero Squad,” Shen Ye decided.
“No!”
“Didn’t you say ‘anything’?”
“But it sounds terrible.”
“How about ‘Beat the enemy until they shit themselves’?” Shen Ye asked seriously.
“Are you serious?” Hera rolled her eyes.
I am very serious.
“Then what should it be called…”
Shen Ye had a bit of a headache.
Naming things is really difficult, but without a name, the mission couldn’t be completed.
Time was short!
“Let’s go, first find that future term. We can think about the team name later.”
Shen Ye waved his hand.
Hera looked at him strangely.
According to her observation of cause and effect, the other party needed a team to gain a certain considerable benefit.
But he couldn’t even think of a name!
Because he couldn’t think of a name, he temporarily gave up this benefit!
What kind of person is this!
